The purpose of present study was to investigate the relationship between

Anthropometric characteristics and hip joint flexibility among teenaged girls in

football schools. The population of this study comprised 120 teenaged girls from

football schools of Mashhad. 40 teenaged girls of the population with mean and

standard deviation of age 13/90±0/84 years, weight 51/62±6/51 kg, and height

156/35±4/22 cm as subjects participated. The Anthropometric variables

including calf length, tight length, calf circumference, hip circumference, knee

diameter, pelvic width, and thickness of subcutaneous fat of iliac crest, iliac,

front tight, middle of the calf, range of motion in flexion and extension were

measured. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and

Pearson correlation coefficient with significant level of p < 0.05. The results

showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between thickness

of subcutaneous fat in front tight, middle of the calf and the range of motion in

hip flexion. However, there is a positive and significant relationship between

pelvic width and the range of motion in hip extension. The results of the present

study demonstrated that there is a relationship between thickness of

subcutaneous fat and pelvic width and hip joint flexibility
